The Rocpool restaurant in Inverness is to close for the duration of new restrictions introduced in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
In an announcement on its Facebook page the restaurant said: "Following yesterday’s announcement by the Scottish Govt of more restrictions on the hospitality trade we are sad to announce that we will be temporarily closing our doors from this Saturday October 10 at 6pm until Monday the 26th October.
"We are very sorry to all those guests who have had bookings cancelled in such an abrupt fashion.
"We have really enjoyed having you all back in the restaurant, the wonderful feedback and great teamwork has been very humbling ......thank you!
"We are only going to be apart for 15 days, so keep safe and we will hopefully see you all soon."
The restaurant's website will remain active for future bookings or queries.
The Rose Street Foundry in Academy Street also announced it will be closed until spring next year.
